When it finally did the update was the truck connected to wifi at home or was it able to update via cellular on its own? Maybe if I let it run for a period of time it might update. 

It was OTA, i don't have my truck connected to my home wifi, or have any sort of data play with onstar.

I will see what mine is when I have a few mins around lunchtime. I haven’t checked the truck at all this morning so it could be dead out there.  Quick look at the link, states 2020 trucks and other vehicles. Mine is a 2019, wondering if it even applies.

Mine did this 2 days before the first update came out and stopped after the update.

 

This past Thursday I got another update when I shut down the truck in my driveway. I had not been having any issues prior to this latest update.

 

Both updates came unprompted when I shut off the truck took and both took 10-15 minutes.  I have no clue how this all works but glad it does !

I’m hoping mine will sort itself out on its own like yours did. Is yours a 2019 or 2020? I checked mine again and sometimes the Updates button is greyed out. When greyed out it says “Vehicle conditions are not ideal at this time...” and when it’s not greyed out it says “No updates available, last checked 1/31/2021 at 1:21pm”. Pretty misleading as to whether or not my 2019 is getting an update or not.

Had the same issue with what I'm assuming was a bad download, radio stayed on and door locks were acting weird so I did a battery disconnection and the problem went away for a few days and returned ,as quickly as it returned it disappeared and have had no issues since. Have been told by those in the know that gm's issues with the head unit go back to 17 on some models and they have been waiting over 2 years for a resolution to the problems. I'm going to the dealer to get a hard connect update done, I have no confidence in GM's over the air update system.

I think you are right. Best bet is for a hard wired connection update. I’m going to call the dealer tomorrow morning and get it in.

The first update downloaded in the parking lot at work. This latest one downloaded in my driveway.

 

My truck is a 2020 LT made in Mexico.

 

Maybe the updates are in Spanish ?

The truck is at the dealer today. Dropped it off first thing and hope they figure it out before days end. I will provide and update later...hopefully. 
 

Thanks everyone for the input so far.

Picked up the truck. It required an update and it wouldn’t install unless hard wired to their computer. Attached a pic of the update info. Hope this might help others having the same issue. Cheers

Mine doesn’t have the new update and when checking it doesn’t show. Not too worried since the radio staying on only happened once and disconnecting the battery seemed to work for now. Here’s a my info

Mine has started doing this as well. I haven't had an update since I bought the truck. Still on 509. The Check for Updates keeps telling me there are none. The dealer keeps telling me there are none for my truck. But it seems odd it just started doing this a few weeks ago.

You have to have chevy update for this issue. Mine was even worse. My truck power would not shut off. And a few times the engine wouldn't shut off. But i hit the engine start button on the remote and the engine would shut off. That happened about 15 times before i took it to chevy. Btw i have had my truck at chevy 7 times because of this issue until it was fixed. This was early last year. Hasn't happened since.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.

      Slate Electric Truck

      We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      I have a 2025 GMC Canyon Denali.   On a trip recently the engine failed.  The dealership diagnosed a bent valve and says there is a service bulletin that indicates to 'relace the engine'.  The truck only has about 14K miles and is under warranty.   The failure occurred 5/11/2026.   So far I have worked with GM Customer Assistance and Roadside Assistance.  Evidently no engines are available and nobody will offer a date when a new one will be.   Coming up on two months with no repair or timeline and no loaner from the dealership.   GMC Customer Assistance is 'ghosting' me and keeps closing the cases I've opened with no resolution.   Hoping someone can help me on how to escalate this issue.
